Instructor: Jesse Fagan
In this module we will cover some the concepts, recent advances, and various tools available related to the visualization of social network data. The module will integrate visualization principles (e.g. color, position, contrast), various ways of visualizing network data, and various layouts for node-link diagrams. We will use the network software Gephi to escape the hairball and create clear visualizations. We will walk through the process of creating high quality network visualizations for publication, posters, or framing on your wall. We will end with a discussion with a survey of the current state of network visualization software.
